Too much ammo? The deuce!

This man was arrested and held for $500k in bail in the Soviet of Massachusetts for having too much ammo - 30,000 rounds in .38, .22, and 9mil calibers. He owns weapons in all three calibers. He bought the guns legally in New Hampshire, and was within the grace period in Massachusetts to obtain a firearms card.

Keni Garcia, a Dominican, had been scheduled to become a US Citizen.

Suspicious, yes. But a crime?

Garcia is charged with three counts of possession of a high-capacity firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and illegal storage of a firearm.

His lawyer insists no crime was committed, which I guess they all do, but the way this country is headed the only crime is not having enough ammo.

Comments on this page indicate Massachusetts does have extremely draconian gun laws, and the dude could be in some trouble.
